Aferni Hotel Agadir

We hit the big city of Agadir, it's a bit of a big hotel kinda of place. Big, sandy, crescent shaped beach which nobody was using at the time we were there. Eddie found a great room at a fantastic price, pool, restaurant, balcony all for 38 dollars a night. We found the towna bit quite, for example ...

... And becasue Surf Maroc is owned by a few cool Brits (love to Ollie, Vicki and Ben) I pretty much lived and breathed in an English colony planted in Morocco which I rather fancied. Besides learning to surf, I made it my intention to learn as many British sayings (with the accent) as possible, much to the amusement of the rest of the crew.

Guests who came to Surf Maroc came from ...

... hotel Sofitel Agadir . They are all so unique; you'll want to visit each one during your stay! In addition to the hotel's six bars, there are four luxurious restaurants to choose from on the hotel premises. Treat your mouth to the tantalizing flavors of authentic Moroccan cuisine and don't forget to catch breakfast - it's included in your room price so you can fuel up for your day ...

... we went to the ocean to have some sun, because we still had no signs of visiting sunny warm country=) We all made some temporary tatoos, that's why we spent more than 6 hours under the sun without cremes or umbrellas =D That was my mistake, but nice to know that after all despite my obviously red skin, I would have a tan=) The whole body was burning, but I knew that's my only day to lie under the sun so i kinda liked ...

... Green. Has the only real SPA in all Agadir. Has grand conference rooms. Has lots of restaurants, cafe's, Facilities. Really Impressed. Rooms are ok though, nothing unusual, just good. Here we stayed for a free lunch, which was great, Yummy=)))

Lunch is over, time to work again.

Adrar Agadir 3* - Awful pool, rooms are good.

Argana 4* - Pool is simple, rooms are okay. But the view from the window is awful. Though the hotel ...

29th - Another day in Marrakesh, shopping by day and food stalls by night. Tamlyn, Kira and Elyse bought 2 tortoises - Mohammed Tajine and Fattima Couscous. 30th - Left for Essaouira on the coast, spent a little while shopping in the Medina for tonight's meal. Bush camped on the beach south of the city/town. Dist cov. = 222 km 31st - Travelled to Agadir via Taghazout to get lunch and restock the truck at the last Marjane ...

... No signs of any airport bus or donkey cart. So I talked to one of the tourist bus drivers and at the end he gave me a lift into town. Free. How sweet, and a very nice start. In Agadir, there are small taxis and big taxis. The big ones are old Mercedes and they go as share taxis to destinations out of town, but they wait until they have 6 passengers. 4 squeeze on the back seat and two ...

... some blackjack, it ended up being a pretty hilarious night. Over the next week we got up around 6 each morning, starting with a few streches, our ritual consumption of a mars bar and a choc milk and then jumped on a bus to a surrounding beach. We scored some fun little surfs at Boilers, surfed Killers on a number of occasions with surf ranging from pumping to disappointing and were lucky enough to get ...

... the 'plane and got front row seats. Didn't bother with pre-pack breakfast as it was the same mush as on the way in. Bought 800 cig's and bottle of brandy and chatted to the chap next to me who said this was the worst ever holiday experience, only because he went on a blind holiday with someone he did not know nd it all went horribly wrong. Touchdown in Manchester, England was at 3:05pm where it was cloudy, wet and cold. Arrived home at about 5pm and had first cup of tea in 7 days. Will leave unpacking for tomorrow. THE END

... us had increased exponentially over this same period. This increase has not been because of elevated concerns about our safety over the past few days, but rather because the government has made more security resources available to look after us. In addition to a team of 2 or 3 uniformed officers guarding the outsdie of the hotel and a handful of plainclothed men overseeing our safety inside the hotel, there are also teams of men who are responsible for following us when we ...
